Geno Hayes isn’t coming back. Coach saw what he can do on tape and didn’t see the point of resigning him. He showed flashes but disappear most of the game. He is a weakside linebacker that made plays, but never dominated at the point of attack. Maybe it was bad coaching, but he would only be another backup here behind David. He is too small to play strong side, plus they will still do no know what they have with Dekota Watson.

Geno is riding the bench because of name brand LB’s. The Bucs let a tackling machine go. I think Hayes & David would make a better combination. Dom get our boy back he was a good kid no on or off the field issues. He’s wasting away on Chicago bench. We need our Dline coach back too. Go get our special teams coach in San Diego mix them in the soup poof Playoffs. Geno played in the weak ass tampa 2.0 and produced. Remarkable!

I hope Hayes don’t hate his former team. Geno made so many tackles for it to just go unnoticed. He got a one year contract with the bears when he desevred a long term with us. Rah benched him last years to hender his confidence when he the only buc that I seen playing all season. The only buc I seen tackling anybody.

Don’t forget where you came from when you leave because forgetting Geno is like forgetting HOME.

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:24:43 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=77875#comment-2247220LaVonte David- Calls the plays pre-snap, makes the plays after the snap.

Since taking over at MLB for the Puddy Tats… he has 62 combined tackles, 38 solo and 1 int in 5 games. If you take his average numbers he would be close to Laurinaitis and David if he had been playing his natural position all eight games at about 61 solo tackles.

I am loving that we got David, he is a special player and in my mind more valuable to us then Kuechly would have been. My point here is that it is going to be awesome to see all the key match ups this Sunday. David against Cam and their backs, Kuechly against Martin and so on and so forth very much a preview of the division battle we will be seeing for years to come. Sunday never comes fast enough.

Schiano said this is my guy, Dominick said i can trade down and get him, even if Dominick did not trade down from the 1st overall pick, there all kind of ways to trade back to the first to get a guy that you target. There is an obvious difference in the front office structure.

It has always amazed me on how the players are deemed to be the correct size rather than their desire and ability to play. Would you want a bigger LB than Brooks or a bigger DB like Rhone over the years that they played? What about Rogers the Greenbay QB?

Flash is fast and he is bigger than the RBs, plus his instincts can’t be taught, he wants it and is doing it. Results always top should be’s.

Yes that includes Martin b/c David has been consistent all year, Martin has been hot the past month! Great rookie class so far, GO BUCS!!!
